The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION FOR HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H6684 on Oct. 11, 2001.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION FOR HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Sec. 314 of the Congressional Budget Act and Sec. 221(c) of H. Con. Res. 83, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2002, I submit for printing in the Congressional Record revisions to the allocations for the House Committee on Appropriations.
As reported to the House, H.R. 3061, the bill making appropriations for the Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies for fiscal year 2002, includes an emergency-
designated appropriation providing $300,000,000 in new budget authority for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Outlays totaling
$75,000,000 are expected to flow from that budget authority in fiscal year 2002. Under the provisions of both the Budget Act and the budget resolution, I must adjust the 302(a) allocations and budgetary aggregates upon the reporting of a bill containing emergency appropriations.
In addition, the bill contains appropriations for continuing disability reviews (CDRs) and adoption assistance payments. The CDR appropriation provides $433,000,000 in new budget authority and
$381,000,000 in outlays in fiscal year 2002. The adoption assistance appropriation provides $20,000,000 in new budget authority and
$3,000,000 in outlays this year. I also must adjust the 302(a) allocations and budgetary aggregates upon the reporting of a bill containing appropriations for those purposes, up to the limits contained in the Budget Act. The amounts provided by the appropriations bill are within those limits.
To reflect these required adjustments, I hereby increase the 302(a) allocation to the House Committee on Appropriations to $663,499,000,000 for budget authority and $683,378,000,000 for outlays. The increase in the allocation also requires an increase in the budgetary aggregates to
$1,628,687,000,000 for budget authority and $1,591,076,000,000 for outlays.
These adjustments apply while the legislation is under consideration and take effect upon final enactment of such legislation. Questions may be directed to Dan Kowalski at 67270.
